Empires rise and fall with time over decades and centuries.
Germany was a scientific powerhouse until the 1930s. England was a scientific powerhouse in the 1700s. The US is a powerhouse from 1945 to today, but ideological meddling, budget cuts and poor education has made it so that China is now likely going to take over.
Sadly they aren’t brought down by scientific reasons. They are brought down by the surrounding culture.
Scientists fled Germany in the 1930s. Scientists fled Constantinople in the 1450s ahead of the Byzantine invasion. And scientists are going to flee the US in the next decade.
And where the scientists fled to ended up the next big superpower.
It all comes back to the Civil War. The seeds of the USA’s eventual ratfucking were planted in the failure to adequately secure the peace and implement the reconstruction as planned. Having failed to destroy the country in war the traitors dragged it down in peace, holding everything back like an anchor.
